    Good ideas. Don't know where you heard them before but we need all industries and then just one spokesman that had the full understanding of all of this and can not quit until the problem is solved.

      Rocky,

      Didn't I just see someone say...

      "But we understand, and it's important that everyone who's looking at this system understands, that this is an unusual situation where in the marketplace you have two large suppliers - the two big railway companies - where they have extraordinary market power," he said.
      "And we simply cannot accept outcomes where those two big companies would dictate to the market just what they think is satisfactory in their interests. That is not going to serve the wider interests of grain farmers or of the Canadian economy."

      Who said this? Does it show understanding of what we are dealing with?

          Rocky,

          Just coming into Day 14. Things have gone very well so far... but liquids do not often retain well... which makes it rather tricky to go to the bathroom!

          I suppose some type of cork would help!

                  Thanks dalek... things have refrained better for now... perhaps the corn cobs are better left in the field!!!

                  By the way Braveheart...
                  As I have driven by Reddeer and thought back a few times... I think It was Lee Erickson now that I dig back again... that was talking to/with me/thinking about getting a bike and riding through Alberta for a ride of freedom! Hmmm took a Hunger Strike to remember better!!!? I truly did appreciate your support on the CWB file! Many Many interesting memories!!!

                  I heard Lee had a bad back, had an operation and is now much happier the pain has subsided! Great when a plan works out... and people feel better! I think I will give Lee a Call!!!

                    When Harper's Bill C-51 becomes law, your little hunger strike could be perceived as a terrorists act. The railways are a very important to the economy of Canada, and your battle with them could very well be interpreted as disruptive to the railway's day to day operations.

                    Be very careful Tom, you wouldn't want to be put on the terrorists watch list by the very government you so dearly love.

                      Forage,

                      Since you thought my hunger strike was a good idea... you could be considered a part of the cell I belong to?

                      Grin!

                      Hard to believe that the guy (me)who specifically and intentionally has been non-violent... and preaches non-violence... would be arrested for being the opposite.

                      If it were to be so... I have always said in standing for truth and what is right... gets me in jail... I am ready to go...

                      Hence my greeting... "I am not in Jail yet!"
